Installing the Wave Expansion Board
Up to three optional Wave Expansion Boards (one SR-JV80 series,
two SRX series) can be installed in the Fantom.
Wave Expansion Boards store Wave data, patches, and rhythm sets,
and by equipping the Fantom with these boards, you can greatly
expand your sound palette.
Cautions When Installing an
Wave Expansion Board
● To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be
caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following
whenever you handle the board.
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object
(such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity
you might have been carrying has been discharged.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid
touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put
the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
● Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw
(a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the
head of the screw may be stripped.
● To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To
tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

● When installing Wave Expansion Boards, remove only the
specified screws.
● Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior
of the Fantom.
● Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the
Wave Expansion Boards is complete, be sure to replace the cover.
● Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection
terminals.
● Be careful not to cut your hand on the opening for installing the
board.
● Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it
doesn’t fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try
again.
● When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your
work.
● Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before
attempting installation of the circuit board (SR-JV80/SRX series;
Quick Start p. 3–4).
● Install only the specified circuit board(s) (SR-JV80/SRX series).
Remove only the specified screws (p. 196).
How to Install a Wave
Expansion Board
Install the Wave Expansion Boards after removing the bottom panel
cover. SR-JV80 series boards are installed in the EXP A slot; SRX
series boards are installed in the EXP B and EXP C slots. These slots
correspond with the Wave Expansion Board groups (XP-A–XP-C)
when the expansion Wave, patches, and rhythm sets are used.
1. Before installing the Wave Expansion Board, turn off the
power of the Fantom and all connected devices, and
disconnect all cables, including the Power cable, from the
Fantom.
2. Turn the Fantom over, remove the four screws indicated in
the following diagram, and remove the cover.
fig.18-02.e
• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers
or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both
ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you
should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get
damaged.

• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid
dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
